I have been going to Dr. Lawrence Dubuske for almost 5 years. Before I got allergy treatments from…read morehim, I used to get seasonal and a variety of other allergies. My allergies have been under control after getting allergy shots. Dr. Dubuske has been an amazing doctor for me. He takes the time to listen to his patients and listens to their concerns, whether it is over the phone or during visits. He is very approachable and personable. I have been getting allergy shots every week for a few years and he always accommodates to the patient's schedule to make sure that his patients do not miss the allergy shots. He will even be there at 9 PM or 6 AM in the morning to make sure that his patients get the required treatment. When I was in Nepal, I got an anaphylactic reaction. I called him from Nepal and he picked up the phone in the middle of the night to help me. I am very thankful. Dr. Dubuske goes above and beyond the role of an allergist.

Terrible experience. I was referred to Dr. McCowan by another Dr. and arranged a meet and greet. We…read morehad a pleasant enough discussion, and when I called back to make a first appointment, I was 1) first given an appointment, 2) then called the next day to be told she was "full" and didn't have any openings but would call me back with other referrals, 3) then when I followed up, was told that in fact she was choosing not to take me on because she didn't feel she had rapport with me- from a 20-min nerve-wracking meeting. Unprofessional all around. Ultimately I'm glad I'm not going to be a patient of Dr. McCowan because her behavior in this non-clinical situation speaks poorly to what the experience of being her patient would be like. EDIT: After I published my review on Google, the practice manager responded by describing it as "slander." That is not only very unprofessional , but it is also FALSE. In order for something to be slanderous, it must be not true. I would ask for them to specify what was misrepresented or be more careful about the verbiage they use.

I have been a patient of Dt Starr's for years. I have followed him from the practice he started at…read morethe Faulkner hospital until he started Personalized Medical Care. I cannot say enough about the man and his practice. Doc is an "old school" Doc, if he suspects an issue, he gets tests done, if he thinks you need a procedure, he sends you for it, he runs the care for his patients, not some insurance company. He is always available and gets back right back to you. Brian the office manager, is on top of EVERY aspect of someone's care and runs the practice very well. Very glad I followed Doc to his new practice.

She does get busy and it took 3 or so months for me to see her for my initial annual exam, but the nurse who made it for me did tell me that I should call and make an appointment if anything came up before my annual. I couldn't be happier and definitely recommend her!

After countless specialists and years of agonizing frustration, I went to see Kellie for acupuncture. She ended up doing acupuncture, cupping and homeopathy for me. In the end, none of it worked for me in the long run. Why the 5 stars you ask? Because she's great. A little quirky in the beginning, but once you meet her a few times, you learn that you can completely open up to her about anything. And homeopathy is truly fascinating. It's amazing how a psychological or emotional event can cause a blockage that has been the root of all my back, knee, and other mechanical problems all these years... I wish I was made of millions, because I'd continue to go to her even if the treatments didn't work. I felt like I went to a therapy and detox session all at once.

I went to Kellie for homeopathy. It was a cool experience…read more She had a long interview (maybe 1.5 hours) in which she wanted to find out what I was like. The interview alone was a beneficial experience--because when else do you tell someone you've never met, who won't judge you or tell others about you all about yourself, without it being in a setting where you feel like you have to focus on problems (such as in counseling or therapy). It made me realize that therapy can be kind of depressing in contrast with just talking about who you are in general, without trying to focus on problems. Then, a few days later she mailed me the remedy she had selected, which was particular to my underlying personality and my current issues (there are 1000s of remedies to choose from, so the practitioner can be rather specific). The first time I took it, I felt an incredible sense of relief, like "Wow, I don't have to live like I've been living for the past decade (which has been a hard one for me), it's not mandatory, I can have a more enjoyable life." I was not expecting to feel anything at the time, and I have never had that sort of experience before, so I do not think it was purely an expectation effect. I've been taking the remedy for about two months, and it's been one of the best two months I've had in a while. I've noticed some very positive changes in some areas that had been problematic for me for years. Once again, I was not really expecting anything in particular from homeopathy (and the effect I was expecting did not really happen in as large a degree as I expected), so I think this is something more than just expectation effects. Regardless of what it is, I think it's been helpful and I would recommend it. Don't be turned off by the price. After the first appointment, subsequent appointments are less expensive, and you can get a year's worth of treatment for probably a lower yearly price than most other treatments (a year of therapy copays or massage would cost more, for example). Homepathy is cool - I think you should check it out!

The "predator" review is spot on. I took a chance on this doctor in desperation to address extreme…read moreanxiety. I knew it was an "off-the-board" kind of treatment, but decided to give it a try. My exasperation with the "official" medical establishment is one factor that led me here. TL;DR: turns out it's basically homeopathy, meaning lame, unconvincing sleight (and I mean VERY sleight) of hand combined with meaningless psychobabble. Along with two assistants, she went through a procedure that is supposed to find all the bad stuff your body has problems with: She has you hold your arm up and resist her pushing on it, while putting pressure on some part of the body or resting a bottle of some substance on your stomach. When something is "good," you "successfully" resist her pushing. When it's "bad", she waggles your arm back and forth too quickly for you to adjust and push back and says "that organ is weak." It's kind of like you're a human Ouija board, LOL. She kept asking if I understood if I "got it" how one thing was strong and one was weak based on this, and I said, "uh, not really, it just seems like you're changing how periodically you push and pull." She testily said "NO. If you don't get this, we can't continue." (and of course the payment has already cleared the bank) After a few minutes of this, I'm thinking "This is nonsense." I figured I would be polite and wait til they were done and then just never come back. I occasionally asked clarifying questions, and she seemed to think her answers had some kind of logic to them, but nothing she said made any sense. At over an hour in, it was getting difficult to not roll my eyes. She went through the same routine with the bottles of vitamins I brought with me. Presses bottle to my chest, waggles my arm. "Bad." Another bottle. Waggle. "Bad bad." She read the ingredients of my Vitamin C & Zinc bottle, telling me how bad it is, and then suggested I "give this to someone you hate." :o That's what you call "professional." Then she pulled out some "gene chart" that any layperson isn't going to know up from down, throws out some impressive terminology, and said we need to test my genes. It will take from 15m to an hour. "ANOTHER HOUR?" I said. "Well, only if your genes have problems." I am not a rude person, and do not like confrontation, but at that point I abruptly sat up and said "I need to go." I got up and went to put my shoes on and collect my belongings from the table near the door. "But, we're not--" I told her this was absolute BULLSHIT and walked out. The three of them stood there with mouths agape as if this has NEVER happened before. This is "health care" for the hard of thinking. The old phrase pops to mind: "Be open-minded, but not SO open-minded that your brains fall out." (LOL to the 4-star reviewer who seems to think they are being overly critical)

It is not often I feel compelled to write a review, however, Dr Medwar and her team deserve this!…read moreFirst off, I am a registered nurse and believe in western medicine because that is what I was taught. I thought eastern medicine was mmmm a hoax! My daughter and son in law gave my husband and I the gift of life when they gave us gift cards for the initial 3 visits for evaluation. I decided to go in with an open mind. Not going to lie, my husband and I were a bit skeptical during the evaluation phase but decided to follow through because it was already paid for and we felt we had nothing to lose. We are both overweight and in an unhealthy state at present. My husband's diabetes was out of control. In just four short weeks we have both lost 15-20#'s! My husband's diabetes blood sugar has gone from 250-350 on massive doses of insulin down to 80-130 on less than 1/3 of the insulin he was taking! I use to nap on my days off just to get through the day. I am now sleeping less overnight and no longer taking naps! My energy level is that of a younger woman. I cringed a little with the price of the supplements but they do last for the initial "detox" period. So, you can either pay for prescriptions to treat bad health, or you can get in her program and pay for great health and wellness! Thank you Dr Medwar and team for setting my husband and I on the right path. Life is good again! To the nay sayers and the ones who wrote the bad reviews, did you go in with an open mind? Did you let Dr Medwar complete her evaluation? Did you try her program? If you haven't then you should. In just 3-4 weeks my husband and I both started to feel great. Bullshit this is not!
